Safe Servicing Practices - Electrolux FAC053J7A4 Product Information And Technical Manual

SAFE SERVICING PRACTICES - ALL APPLIANCES
To avoid personal injury or property damage, it is important that Safe Servicing
Practices be observed. The following are some limited examples of safe practices.
1. DO NOT attempt a product repair if you doubt your ability to complete it in a safe
and satisfactory manner.
2. Before servicing or moving an appliance
• Remove power cord from electrical outlet, trip circuit breaker to OFF position,
or remove fuse
• Turn off gas supply
• Turn off water supply
3. Never interfere with the proper operation of any safety device.
4. Use only OEM replacement parts cataloged for this appliance.
Substitutions may defeat compliance with safety standards set for home
appliances.
5. GROUNDING: The standard color coding for safety ground wires is GREEN, or
GREEN with YELLOW STRIPES. DO NOT use ground leads as current carrying
conductors. It is EXTREMELY important that the service technician reestablish all
safety grounds prior to completing service. Failure to do so will create an electrical
hazard.
6. Prior to returning the product to service, ensure that
• All electrical connections are correct and secure
• All electrical leads are properly dressed and secured away from sharp edges,
high-temperature components, and moving parts
• All non-insulated electrical terminals, connectors, heaters, etc. are adequately
spaced away from all metal parts and panels
• All safety grounds (both internal and external) are correctly and securely
connected
• All panels are properly and securely reassembled
